Obama may not be an oil man, but he promised to end the Bush-era commodities modernization act that makes this thievery possible and has failed to do so. Hopefully as oil skyrockets and the Dow tanks, there will be new pressure on him to push for repeal of the act i.e. regulating oil futures trade.
Before it was all Bush's fault. He was the oil hungry, blood thirsty war monger in the eyes of the liberals.
Now that Obama is in office no one talks about the outrageous price for a gallon of gas anymore.
Because conservatives have brains and understand the President has little control over oil prices. Well except if he decreases worldwide supply by a moratorium on drilling............
Won't be for long. The difference........ It will never come back down.
The push/shove to a "green job" agenda, has many faces with this administration.
$4 a gallon is barely sustainable. When it tops that, all hell is going to break loose.
I predict $6 a gallon by this time next year.
It will dash any hopes of a 2nd term for Obama.
